This really hit a nerve with me today, but first, and most importantly, I think it is crazy to judge others on what we choose to spend money on. That same person who judged your bag could of spent $500 on a bottle of wine at dinner last night, when it would of been what at a liquor store? When I got my first Chanel flap, using this one for this post, 10 years ago, I lived in a place where no one would bat an eye at it. I actually got it to elevate my post gym look because I turned a certain age and thought if I was going to do errands in gym clothes I should up my look, now that I was “old” We moved to a more casual area a short while ago and frankly if people see it, they probably think it’s fake. I do feel a little funny carrying it because in those 10 years it, and other of my bags, have become ridiculously priced. Sorry, my opinion not the people who see my bag, and what has changed about these bags? I know, different topic. So let’s go back to judgement. I also have handicap status, most times I don’t use it, but if I do I have actually had people say “you don’t look handicapped” and “are you using your mother’s placard”. When did it become appropriate to judge, and comment, on other’s material items, health, cars and so on? I find where I live now, and it’s a mix of people who have always lived here and others who move in tear down a house and build a new one that covers every piece of available land, to be very judgey and not afraid to let their comments fly. I think it’s a reflection on our country(USA)and makes me worry about the path we are headed down. Written as I sit outside for a couple minutes in air quality that is rated as unsafe as it’s ever been. But global warming is “fake”. Sorry, but I did say in the beginning this post hit a nerve today. I also will say carry what you love and what makes you feel good about yourself…as long as you are safe.
